◾️ Excerpt from personal comments (recorded in the book)
「BEAUTIFUL」
I wrote while walking around Komazawa Park, the neighborhood of the apartment where I lived alone at that time. This "grassland" was the same place as the scenery where the young grasses that appeared in the later "Mirai no Uta".

「STRONGER」
When I went abroad, there were children singing hymns in a large church, and I took a video with so much beauty. In the second half of the song, the sound at that time was sampling. Wonderly the key was right.
